Why do you associate public transit use and not owning a car with low income? I make $100k+ and I don't own a car; I commute to work every day on public transit

Why do you associate public transit use and not owning a car with low income? I make $100k+ and I don't own a car; I commute to work every day on public transit (with two transfers on the return journey, something a lot of people say high earners won't do) and I use public transit to get around whenever possible.

- belovedeagle 10y agoSo 92% of Seattle (the city, not the region, which is a weird way to look at Seattle transit, but sure) transit commuters are above the poverty line...? That's literally all the data actually said. If your no-content comment was supposed to convey something else, I'm afraid it's lost on me.
